Atalanta will be without Ademola Lookman for their crucial UEFA Champions League group-stage finale against Barcelona on Wednesday, January 29.
The forward reportedly sustained an injury during Sunday’s training session and is currently undergoing tests to assess the severity of the setback. Initial reports indicate that Lookman is dealing with a left knee issue, ruling him out of the upcoming match.
A club statement confirmed the nature of the injury, stating, “The injury involves trauma to the right knee, affecting the lateral joint compartment.”
With qualification spots on the line, Atalanta will have to navigate the decisive fixture without one of their key attacking players.
The Italian club hopes that the Nigerian star will recover fully very soon to be involved in upcoming games.
